I ordered the Herb Spice Grinder from Amazon.
I the past I tried to use a coffee bean grinder. No work well. It ground the flakes too fine, almost powder like.
Looking forward to using this one. Thanks for the Amazon link.

One of those things might work well, if time is of the essence... and you really don't like flakes. But, I find that just chopping my tin of flakes into cubes preserves some of the burning qualities of a flake, but with having to fiddle with it less while smoking.
Posted this in another thread but I've been using one of these for a few weeks and it works great. 2 coins or 1 flake fits perfectly. The pyramid shape doesn't pulverize the tobacco like the paddle type (more for spices and herb). Got 2 for around 20$ on Amazon.
Blasting flakes to bits in herb grinders and coffee grinders is cool and all if that's what you're into, but I've never had bad results from just rolling them into a ball between my palms and then fluffing it out a bit onto a plate or shallow bowl. It's quick, no extra tools needed, and it leaves me with a slow burning mix of ribbons and chunks. Comes out looking like ready rubbed, which seems fairly redundant to say. I'll occasionally cut flakes into squares or larger cubes, but any finer cut than that seems to nullify the point of a flake. Of course, it's your tobacco, so if it floats your inner tube go ahead and pulverize it into snuff, or booty boof an uncut plug sideways. I'm not tryna tell anybody how to live!
Arthritis and rubbing out tobacco are not friends.?
I bought one recently. It works fairly well except it can be a PITA to get the tobacco pieces out of the grinder blades. Worth the effort though I believe. I told and stuff flake. I use this for plugs such as C&D Seersucker.
You are all neophytes and blasphemers. I wouldn't use a grinder on my weed much less my tobacco. I fold and sruff flakes and break up weed with my fingers. Those kids and their crazy contraptions, get off my lawn ya filthy animals.
Mine I used for "medicinal purposes only" has a little spring built in that pushes out the filling....

What is the name of that grinder?
McWeedShredder. But you have to super size your kids meal to get it.
Bought one of the Kingtop grinders from Amazon even though I figured it would not be particularly good.
Have to admit it works quite well. I’m impressed. Some of the more notorious flakes to keep lit behave very well indeed with just a couple half twists.
PITA to get some of the pieces out from between the teeth but nothing egregious.
The tobacco is perfect for my preferences and much easier to keep lit.
Worthwhile purchase. ?

honestly cutting a flake into cubes works super good. I can't believe it took me forever to try it but it's incredible how well it stays lit how slowly it burns how much flavor it maintains.
I got this at a local pot shop for $2 and it works great. I'm selling them for $15 each plus shipping?
